    TUTORIAL: The Totally Offical "Hot glue Method" Method.

    I am still very much a noob to armor making, and before I start trying to actually showcase anything I am in the process of figuring out what works best for me and my makeshift workshop situation. Your hot glue method really raised an eyebrow, and while I haven’t really worked on a project...

    Best Fuctioning Warthog!

    lol Burnie from RVB had posted this mans build journal on it... guess he finished it After viewing it, I had the idea of modding my wifes tracker into a mini-Chupathingy... sadly the nerd was not strong with her, she said no :*(

    Making My First Armor For Halloween

    I’m sorry for neglecting to post what happened with the armor, all the effort I put into it, and the day fell apart, our anniversary went significantly not as planned. I was so heart broken/crushed that I didn’t even bother uploading pics of me in the armor I created for that day. The thing...

    Making My First Armor For Halloween

    When does a project become a mission? Let’s debrief… I finished out the next shin and threw some base color on it. While that cured, I bought some gloves And added a light glassing to them so that I could attach armor pieces While that cured I hacked up some guards...

    Starx - Mark 3 Build

    Since the movie I’ve been awful tempted to try to take on making a suit of aluminum… looking over your designs, I could see making an aluminum rail under skeleton to attach the plates to. Your dedication to this project is astounding! Keep up the awesome work!

    Resin Temps

    I’ve found that adding in more of the hardening liquid is an excellent way to counter the effects of the cold… but too much is a great way to promote cracking/instability in the mix… which is really evident if you don’t use weave/cloth. The main issue I’ve found in the cold is air bubbles get...

    Making My First Armor For Halloween

    Thanks! I wish I had found this site before now, you all have such amazing insight and ideas put into practice that had I have been here sooner, there would be a night and day difference to where I would be with this… But this is my first project for armor… my next will be much more...

    Making My First Armor For Halloween

    the vast majority of it is based off of the knight I drew for the tattoo on my leg webwise I stole elements from this pic and this one I'm thinking about stealing chest ideas from this one (when I get around to making it)

    Making My First Armor For Halloween

    With Halloween fast approaching I arrogantly thought I could crank out a quick set of GOW armor before it gets here. After some reading up… and a lot of education, I thought it was best to change gears from being something pre-done, to something a little more original. So I canned all of...

    Cog Armor

    When my wife said that she wanted armor from Gears, I arrogantly thought that I could turn this out pretty quickly despite the fact that I’ve never done anything like this. I started this trek yesterday and started by googling the armor for images, finding where some dudes made very realistic...

    Have A Question? Dont Bother With A Thread

    My wife wants me to make armor for Halloween, and I’ve never done this before. I’ve already looked over the noob places here on the site and I think that cutting the parts out of polystyrene and then coating them in Easyflo 120 will be the quick solution to a quick/cheap costume and then...
